i really hope the smashing pumpkins do get back together someday so i can hear 'starla' live sometime in my lifetime. that song is damn near perfect. all 11 minutes and one second of it. doing the job i do its easy to forget how when music is really good it makes you feel alive. starlas my new 'old' favorite smashing pumpkins song. i guess all smashing pumpkins songs are 'old' now. thats what happens when a band breaks up. all the songs instantly become old when there are no new songs on the horizon to replace them with. sad. kinda like my catherine wheel. though rob dickinson did recently say at a performance: 'i used to be in a band called the catherine wheel. in fact i still may be in a band called the catherine wheel.' which leaves me with little teeny tiny glimmer of hope. not that i can realistically expect that anything a re-formed catherine wheel would create could possibly be as good as the work they've already done. but i sure as hell wouldn't mind seeing them live a couple dozen more times, even having to sit through comparatively mediocre new songs to experience the 'old' ones again. though at this point id settle for a solo rob dickinson tour date located somewhere within in a 5 hour radius.
sigh.
